Your computer’s screensaver is an animated image that appears on your monitor after the computer remains idle for a certain period of time. If you want to use the pictures from your screensaver on a website, document or social network, you must turn the screensaver into a digital image. Use the Windows screenshot function and Microsoft Paint to convert a screensaver into a GIF.
OCR stands for optical character recognition. OCR programs interpret text in images of scanned documents and convert it to text you can edit, saving you the time it would take to type the documents up by hand. Converting the text from a JPEG image to an Excel spreadsheet will take some extra work, since you must copy and paste all the converted text into the correct cells, but it can still save you time. This process is easy to compete with free online tools.
Digital images come in many different formats. Digital cameras produce RAW or JPEG files, Microsoft Paint creates BMP files by default, web graphics are usually displayed as GIFs and programs like Photoshop have the ability to save in additional formats, such as PNG or TIFF. No format is exactly alike. Each affects the picture's size, compression and quality differently. Sometimes it necessary to convert a batch of pictures from one file format to another. For instance, Microsoft Paint images will be large, uncompressed BMP files. To upload or send these images through the Internet, they should be converted to a…
A file with the PCR file extension is a PCMark Vantage Benchmark file. The PCM file includes benchmark data, and uses the Futuremark PCMark Vantage benchmarking software to open this file type. Because PCR files are data files, they can be exported to the Microsoft Excel file format using the PCMark Vantage software. However, to convert PCR files to JPEG, you need to take screen shots of the PCR data from within the PCMark program, and then save the screen shots as JPEGs.
Convert a blurry JPEG to a vector by running an image editing program's "Unsharp" mask on the JPEG and then using the drawing tool of a vector graphics program to trace the sharpened JPEG. The tracing may take some time, especially if the JPEG has many color shapes. However, you can choose to omit detail as you trace and create vectors only of the JPEG's essential elements. Doing so not only saves time but also may correct flaws with the JPEG, such as distracting background imagery.
The Brother PE-Design application will open and convert a JPEG (.jpg) file to a PES file, the native PE-Design file format. To convert a file to the PES format, you need to have the SD card used to transfer files to the Brother sewing machine. The SD card must be connected to the computer via an SD card reader. Make sure you have the Brother SD card inserted into the computer, because the conversion of the JPEG file format to the PES file type occurs when saving the embroidery file to the Brother card.
In digital photography, shooting in RAW format is essential if you want to be able to make post-processing changes while keeping the integrity of the image. If you use a Canon digital camera, your RAW image file ends in “CR2,” an extension that is not compatible with a wide range of applications. To convert your CR2s to the more common JPEG format, use Adobe Bridge CS5 in combination with Adobe Camera RAW to do it in batches.
Microsoft developed the Enhanced MetaFile format, and Microsoft Windows generates EMF files when a user attempts to print a document while another is already printing. EMF files can contain both raster images like those found in the JPEG image format, and vector graphics. The Graphics Interchange Format is a common format for Web graphics. You can convert from a GIF to a EMF file using the free graphics program IrfanView, or the commerical conversion program Graphic Converter.
The software that sends information to an embroidery machine generally uses .exp files for saving and importing stitching data.

Computer files are typically associated with a file extension code. These three- or four-letter codes signify the type of file and associated program. JPG and BMP are both image files, but they're distinguished by certain qualities. JPG is a high-compression "lossy" format while BMP is a lower-compression, lossless format. You can convert one into the other.
VCD's are video CDs. They are like DVDs except they encoded differently and written onto a CD rather than a DVD disc. The video files on VCDs are naturally of lower quality and smaller in file size than those of the DVD; due to the significantly smaller storage space of the CD medium. Extracting scenes from a VCD can be done using Windows Movie Maker, a program that comes with Windows.
CorelDRAW is an image editing program that has the ability to make complex images. In order to make an image file, such as a JPEG, fully support all of CorelDRAW's features, the image needs to be converted into CorelDRAW's CDR format. JPEG files can convert to a CDR file through CorelDRAW's file menu, so no converting program is necessary.
Encapsulated PostScript, or EPS, is a file format for compressed digital image files. However, they are not as easy to view as JPEG files, and you can also upload or download EPS files much more quickly if you first convert them to JPEG files. With Adobe Illustrator, you can convert an EPS file to a JPEG file in just a few clicks.
To make your JPEG banner file into a GIF file, simply convert the JPEG image to the GIF format.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a popular standard for documents of all types. PDF provides very accurate rendering of graphics and text, with a consistent appearance across multiple hardware and software platforms. PDF has proven useful for exchanging documents in all languages and incorporating all kinds of graphic information but it does require a specialized viewer, such as Adobe Reader. Therefore, it may sometimes be useful to convert a PDF document into a simpler image format such as JPG -- for instance, to view or edit it in a graphics program, or to use it within another document. Adobe Acrobat…
The United States Patent and Trademark Office notes that more people use TIFFs than any other lossless image format. A "lossless" image is one that does not lose quality when compressed. Lossless TIFF images are larger than "lossy" images such as JPEGs that degrade as you compress them. Many websites display JPEGs because of their compact size. You can convert large TIFF files into JPEGs using MS Paint, the free image editing program that comes with Windows 7.
While Microsoft PowerPoint users may choose from a variety of text editing and animation options to get information across, image files can give presentations a personal touch.
